It was removed from the chart in October 2006 after being on the official chart since 24 July 2006, entering the chart at number 25 on downloads alone while peaking at 6 seven weeks later. After an eight week absence, it re-entered the chart in January 2007 when the new chart rules came into effect and has remained in the chart since, finally clocking up its 52nd week in the chart this week. The full chart run (thanks, polyhex): 25-15-13-10-12-7-7-{6}-8-8-17-16-14-20-23-27-26-9R(8)-21-28-32-24-23-12-21-27-31-29-28-35-47-48-48-47-45-51-48-51-54-54-51-59-65-60-44-54-56-56-54-56-52-61 Official video: zxXwIIBlSgw US version: bjcFHKOWc0Q Lyrics: We'll do it all Everything On our own We don't need Anything Or anyone If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? I don't quite know How to say How I feel Those three words Are said too much They're not enough If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads I need your grace To remind me To find my own If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see I don't know where Confused about how as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? The track was taken from the multi platinum (and 2006's biggest seller) album Eyes Open, and reached number 5 in the Billboard Hot 100. It was also a hit in Australia (1), Austria (2), Belgium (3), Canada (2), Czech Republic (3), Holland (8), Germany (8), Ireland (1), New Zealand (4) and Spain (5). It was featured in the US hit show Grays Anatomy in May 2006 which considerably upped its exposure and profile in the US.

September 2, 200717 yr Has anybody got a list of all the singles to have spent a year or more on the chart? Be interesting to see where it ranks...
September 2, 200717 yr Author I know it sold about 250,000 last year, and I would guess about 50,000 tops this year.
September 2, 200717 yr Yea, I still like this. I know it's normal to bash it, but it's a classic tune that will still be played in ten years time. Congrats to Snow Patrol.
September 2, 200717 yr I love this song still, it's not as powerful as it once was but I'm sure after a while I'll listen to it again and fall back in love with it. I liked it before it became a hit, which is strange for me because I didn't even like Snow Patrol :lol:
September 2, 200717 yr Author Has anybody got a list of all the singles to have spent a year or more on the chart? Be interesting to see where it ranks... Frank Sinatra - My Way (124 weeks - several chart runs) Engelbert Humerdinck - Release Me (56 weeks) Oasis - Whatever (55 weeks - several chart runs) Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (52 weeks) ^^ These are off the top of my head :lol:
September 2, 200717 yr Always loved this song :wub: just has something about it. "Rehab" is heading for a year soon too! :w00t:
September 2, 200717 yr Still love it. And I think it's a mark of a true classic that it could stay on the chart for so long without fading away or having a huge backlash. This is one of the few songs released this decade that I'm sure will be remembered and played in 20 years time.

September 2, 200717 yr Thanks Mikey So that means its joint 5th with FGTH relax wow! Didnt think itd be that high! :o
September 2, 200717 yr i think everyone needs to call the radio and ask them to ban this song from being played. Just like they done to James Blunt :kink:
September 2, 200717 yr I'm still hoping they'll make the CD/7" available again as I'm still hoping to get a copy, cos I was slow on the uptake and didn't work what the song I liked was called until it was already withdrawn.
